The all GoPro models discussion thread

I also share the intrigue as to what the point of 4k is..!

Unless one has there own private cinema its pretty useless.

The only thing i can think it would be helpful for is to extract stills from in more of a 'burst fire' mode.

Just ordered a Gopro 3 for cycling and skiing/general family stuff.

Thanks for the link to the shop above and the code.

Looking forward to seeing what it can do.

I have just downloaded that footage from the beginning of this thread. Great stuff and very inspirational. Sure beats what I have shot on my HD2. A motorcycle commute to work and a cycle ride round Richmond Park

One thing that pi55ed me off with the camera is the waterproof housing that is no good for shooting underwater. WTF!! pointless.

I was lucky enough to be in the Bahamas earlier this year and I did a lot of swimming and snorkeling over reefs and following fish as well as fun stuff on a fast boat that was in our possession for a week. I took my HD2 but of course I get back and all the underwater stuff is useless and apparently I should have bought an aftermarket flat lens for the housing.

Thanks GoPro for not making that clear, pun intended. Maybe they will send me the money so I can get back there and shoot it all again as an act of goodwill.

Shame as it was a lucky break millionaire lifestyle type holiday that will never be repeated in my lifetime

The 3 looks to come with the flat lens, great for underwater but won't shed rain on my bike as well as the domed one on my HD1. Would be good if there was a choice when you bought it.

I guess they got a lot of this sort of complaint hence why the new housing comes with a little flat lens! Its much better than the optional accessory it was with its massive flat front though!

Haven't receieved mine from actioncameras yet!

Don't worry, I was a cheapskate and ordered the SD cards elsewhere, they haven't arrived yet so can't use it anyway

[LandingSpot]

Got me a second Hero 2 today.

Looking forward to the prospect of multiple angles!

[AnotherClarkey]

Well, the camera arrived, the SD card arrived. All good so far - then I tried to connect the littler fker to my iPad. After half an hour of pissing about with no luck I discover that the update enabling wifi connection to the app won't be coming out until November the 12th! I think that Gopro might have mentioned this upfront. fkers.

[croyde]

I'm busy trying to edit my stuff to the same music as the promo Hero 3 video just to show what most of us mere mortals do with our cameras

They're buggers for that, the app for Android still isn't out!

My HD 1 (as of about 9 hours ago) is at the bottom of the Caribbean sea

Really gutted, I would sacrifice the camera to get the footage back.

Now to decide. Black or silver?

Black is quite expensive, so please keep me updated with experiences of the HD3 (of all types) to help me choose.

Thanks,

Yours truly,

Gutted of the Caribbean.

Slightly off topic. I've bought myself a hero 3 silver, but need a roll bar mount for Monday.

Does anyone (preferably near to Amersham!) have one I could borrow or buy off them?
